Parts allowed me to mount the heavy mudflats without having to drill holes. They are surprisingly sturdy considering their light weight gauge. Very pleased so far.....we'll know more once the snow flies!
This is the third set of these mud flaps that I've purchased. The first set I installed the front flaps using the self tapping screws that were included. They were easy enough to install but I really didn't like the idea drilling holes into the truck. The next two sets I installed the front flaps using the existing factory screws. I had to make a couple of little brackets out of 1.5" aluminum flat stock to make it work. Aluminum brackets are 1/8" x 1 1/2" x 2 1/4". The first 3/16" hole is drilled 3/8" from the end and is counter sunk. The second hole is roughly 1 1/8" from the same end. The first thing I did was make a cardboard template to figure out where to drill the holes in the flaps. Each side of the truck was slightly different so don't use the same template to drill both sides without double checking that they line up correctly. I also used a couple of 4x4 blocks stacked on top of each other to make sure I was installing the flaps level with the ground. I bought the support brackets to install the rear flaps. The new brackets are better than the ones that were included 2-3 years ago. They've changed them slightly so the line up better and the flaps don't stick out quite as far. It did take quite a bit of time to line everything up and do the install this way mostly because I didn't want to drill holes in the wrong spot. I like how they turned out.
Ok so I originally bought 4 half moon mud flaps from Sharp truck for my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500. What I needed to purchase was the full sized rear. one phone call and I had the correct bracket and flap delivered. Great Customer service and will purchase again in the future.
The brackets had to modified due to the fact the holes that hold the brackets to the body of the truck were out of linement! Which made the mud flaps hang over the outside by over an inch. They looked nasty!
These are awesome. I could not believe the weight of them. They are very stout. Gunmetal looks great with the black bow tie. First purchase with Sharp Truck and I will definitely buy from them again!
These Brackets were exactly as described. I used them to install my new Gatorback Flaps on my 2016 3500HD. They fit perfect and they gave the mud flaps a continuous solid surface mount to, making the installation trouble free.
